Vasanthan ----------- To: info-mach@wb1.cs.cmu.edu Subject: Mach documents available for anonymous FTP Date: Mon, 26 Jun 89 16:12:04 EDT From: Mary.Thompson@mrt.mach.cs.cmu.edu The documents that define the current Mach interface have been placed in the directory /usr/mach/public/doc on wb1.cs.cmu.edu. They can be copied by ftp, as user anonymous, no passwd, followd by "cd /usr/mach/public/doc" Then the usual "ls" or "get" commands will work. There is an INDEX file to map from file names to the document title. Both plain ascii (.doc) and postscipt (.PS) versions of the files are available. These documents are the same ones that are sent out with Mach distribution tapes, but are the current versions. Thus at the moment they reflect the Mach 2.5 definitions rather than Mach 2.0. ps: Name: WB1.CS.CMU.EDU Address: 128.2.250.16 ------------- -- Vasanthan Dept. of CS, CSU.
